About
Shopify accessibility fixes
without overlay shortcuts.
AccessComply is built for merchants who need to find accessibility issues, fix what can be safely fixed in the theme, and keep records without turning the storefront into a widget.
The Problem
Over 5,100 ADA accessibility lawsuits were filed in 2025, with 69% targeting ecommerce websites. The European Accessibility Act (EAA) became enforceable on June 28, 2025, requiring ecommerce sites serving EU customers to meet WCAG 2.1 + 2.2 AA expectations aligned with EN 301 549 v3.2.1.
Shopify merchants face a real accessibility gap. Themes ship with issues, content changes introduce new violations, and many tools only add a JavaScript toolbar on top of the storefront instead of changing the underlying Liquid, HTML, and CSS.
Overlay-only approaches are hard for merchants to trust because they do not correct the source markup that assistive technologies depend on. AccessComply focuses on the safer workflow merchants can inspect: scan, back up, apply eligible fixes, and verify.
Our Approach
AccessComply scans your storefront with Playwright and axe-core, maps each issue back to the page and rule that failed, then prepares source-code fixes for eligible theme issues through the Shopify API.
Our fix pipeline uses a combination of deterministic agents (for predictable issues like color contrast and heading hierarchy) and AI-assisted agents (for context-dependent issues like image alt text and ARIA labels). Every fix starts with a backup, then gets checked again by a post-fix scan.
The result is a practical remediation workflow at the code level, with fewer hidden assumptions and a clearer path when something needs manual review.
Principles
What We Stand For
Theme-file fixes
Fixes are written to Shopify theme files with backups first. No toolbar that only changes the page after it loads.
Clear limits
We separate what can be fixed automatically from issues that need merchant or developer review.
Merchant control
Merchants can scan first, review the issue list, apply eligible fixes, and roll back if a theme change needs to be undone.
Readable records
Scan reports, fix status, and backup history stay visible so teams can understand what changed and what still needs work.
A Note on Guarantees
No automated tool — ours or anyone else's — can guarantee 100% WCAG compliance or immunity from lawsuits. Automated scanning detects approximately 30-40% of WCAG criteria; the rest requires manual review by accessibility experts.
AccessComply reduces avoidable risk by finding common storefront issues, applying backed-up fixes where automation is appropriate, monitoring for regressions, and keeping records of the remediation work.
Those records are useful when you need to show counsel, a marketplace, a regulator, or a customer what work has been completed and what still needs review.
